excellent location and great design
good price with agoda
no transfers, wall portion in bad shape, undsafe and very difficult to get to...
restaurant and bar staff service very poor and the coctails were half size but full price
would recommend some way of transfer from airport or beijing service as quite far from airport (1-2hrs)
Recommend the hotel spend some money making the path to the wall safer and to restore the wall so its not so overgrown and unsafe.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : definitely worth going to the portion of the wall which is on the site. however, bring good shoes and be cafreful as is steep, dusty, dangerous path and wall is overgrown and in dispepair

Amazing architecture. Perfect for a private, tranquil getaway surrounded by trees.
Needs more upkeep- light sockets, lightbulbs burnt out.
Food is not authentic Chinese - leans more towards Western.
Spa services- need more experienced staff
I would definitely stay at the Commune. The grounds are amazing and it is so quiet and relaxing. However, more attention needs to be paid to upkeep. The light sockets and lightbulbs in rooms being burnt out. I went to the spa and my therapist had to leave and come back twice as she forget various items needed for the massage.
Shopping Tip : Boutique inside hotel had some amazing mod terracotta soldiers in bright colors.

Beautiful location outside Beijing with private access via a woodland path to a reasonably long and scenic stretch of the unrenovated but walkable section of the Great Wall.
Excellent accomodation (we stayed in the Courtyard and had a bedroom, bathroom and sitting room with balcony)
Price of wine/beer - exorbitant!! Jacobs Creek £40 a bottle!!
Price of return to Beijing £50 for a taxi when it only cost £25 to get there. (We had transport to Badaling bus station and caught a bus to Beijing and then a taxi to our next hotel - very easy to do - total cost £15
We had been traveling independently through China and wanted a spot of luxury for a couple of nights before embarking on Beijing.
We also wanted to see the real (not rebuilt) Great Wall without large numbers of tourists and associated hassles but we did not want a major escorted hike.
The hotel fulfilled all our requirements. The setting is beautiful, the Great Wall stunning and the accommodation excellent and very comfortable. There was a very nice under-utilised pool.
The hotel internal transport was fast (the hotel site is vast!) and housekeeping was very quick to respond to requests for more free water
and soft drinks.
But eating and drinking in the hotel is expensive for China (London prices) and there is no alternative. We paid £100 for dinner for two - 2 beers, steak, bottle of red wine, coffee and liqueur. The food however was excellent and beautifully served.
All in all a wonderful two nights as long as you are aware of the extras - check the website for details and prices.
Travel tip : Use the hotel transport to travel in the Commune - excellent.
Phone housekeeping for an unlimited supply of water, coke and sprite.
Bring a bottle of something strong to mix with the free soft drinks.
